Traffic, BackLinks, & PageRank with Paid "Text" Links

SEO via Paid Text Links. Will it Deliver on Clickthroughs, Quality Backlinks, and Increased Google PageRank?

Several online services now exist where you can purchase static text links to your site. These services have arisen because of the widely known SEO fact that backlinks are very important in improving your search engine positioning. In theory, if the price is right and you have a budget available, this is an excellent way of improving your SEO.

"Text Links Ads" seems to have emerged as a leader among these new services. They provide a clean Web 2.0-ish website where buying new text links, managing your information as a publisher, or participating in the affiliate program can be managed.

For forum owners, this provides an opportunity to improve SEO via paid links, and a method of earning a small amount of monthly revenue if you participate as a publisher and sell up to 10 ad spots which seem to generally starting around $20/month (split 50/50 with TLA).

In addition to your paid links acting as backlinks, they might also result in some clickthroughs depending on the traffic level of the forum.

Your options with "Text Link Ads" are:
  • Buying text links with the goal of boosting your SEO with backlinks, PageRank; and gaining some traffic with user clickthroughs.
  • Selling text links by participating as a publisher and earning a 50/50 split on the monthly ad placements.
  • Joining the affiliate program with the goal of earning fee for each new referral who signs up and makes a purchase.

Notes on vBSEO
  • vBSEO helps you to automate the process of getting quality backlinks via our pingback/trackback features available now in vBSEO 3.0 RC3.
For Discussion
  • What are your thoughts about Text Link Ads (the company)?
  • Do you know any other similar companies that provide this service? Would you recommend them versus TLA? How do they compare?
  • Is it possible for search engine crawlers like GoogleBot to detect paid links and de-valuate their SEO impact?
  • Have you purchased paid backlinks? Did you find that it helped improve your SEO or boost your traffic?
  • Are any of the publishers sneaking in rel=nofollow tags?
  • Would you participate in the TLA affiliate program? Do you think the flat fee of $25 per purchasing referral is fair compensation?
  • Do you sell text links already privately? Do you think participating in TLA would make it easier to get link purchasers?
  • They seem to highlight Alexa ranking when evaluating sites to buy links. Is that a valuable metric? Wouldn't monthly unique hits and indexed page count, and even top referring SERP keywords be more valuable?
  • Are the links priced fairly or too expensive? (or too cheap?)
  • Is it important to ensure the link is on the homepage versus a deeper page?

I sell 1 ad space a month through them, and its done nothing for the other site. analytics shows less than 100 clicks a month on it. Thats a .001% CTR. lol but they keep buying it for 4 months in a row now... they are still a PR3

I think paying directories and such can help but for some it takes a while to have effect i've noticed. Paying content writers and getting free inbound links that way is always better in the long term.

Also see this topic: Are paid link directories worth the money?
